Spring was in the air now it seemed, the days were getting longer and warmer and the flowers in bloom. Not that I had much time to appreciated much of these things since I honestly only felt like concentrating on riding. Duke and I were far behind and I needed to impress my parents, enough so I could honestly get out of here. I hated it at Canterwood, I wanted to transfer and I thought was I was better than everybody else here, but my parents didn't seem to think so for whatever reason. Walking into the stables, I went right to Duke's stall,"Come on boy, we're going to do jumping today."
Saddling him up, I lead him outside now and got on, sitting straight in the saddle with my heels down already as we walked around the outdoor ring. Duke was a good horse, but I was beginning to think that I needed a new horse, after all, Lacey Bryant from home just got a new horse that cost over 100 grand, Duke had only been half of that. I'm sure her new horse preforms better too. Glancing over at the jumps now, I found myself guessing that they were probably around 3 feet, which was Duke's limit at the moment. After warming him up a little bit more, I pointed him towards the first jump and squeezed, sending him into a canter as we headed towards the jumps.
I counted in my head, and collected his stride up as he took forward and leap over the first jump and landed soundly on the other side. The same thing happened for the next jump and I headed towards the last jump. It looked a little higher, maybe and inch or two but that I didn't really bother me at all. Duke started to balk a little, but I just squeezed him, sending him forward and urged him over the jump. Duke took the jump, but I heard his hoofs clip the bar and the moment we landed, the bar came down with a loud thump. I haulted him and glanced over, "I can't believe you did that," I muttered now, "It was only an inch more."

I walked in on Petri to see a girl knock a rail then blame her horse. "Seriously, it was your fault for the mixed signals." I rolled my eyes before looking around. "And where is your jumping parter?" okay, I was being really rude now but no matter.
Ooc haha I just needed something to say, so she probably wasn't giving mixed signals and yeaaah lol

Occ; Haha, that's fine. You can make things up if you want XD
I heard the approaching hooves now and glanced over in time to see Bella come walking in with her horse. A frown rested on my lips at the sheer sight of her as she told me off in typical fashion. I did nothing more than roll my eyes,"Please, what mixed signals?" I asked her now in annoyance, even more annoyed when she brought up jumping partners, like I really need any one to be with me when I ride, "I don't need a jumping partner unlike some people."

"Like when you checked his mouth too much." I grinned. "Oh, you don't need a jumping partner? So tell me why you aren't on YENT." I smirked
